Time for the grass roots pro 2A people to rise. I've become a lot disenchanted in the NRA as of late. If it wasn't for my training credentials I'd be out of there.
This Internet thing has given a lot of power to the individual and made formal organizations like the NRA obsolete.
Wonder if they'll start liquidating the contents of the firearm's museum?

200?
A good start.
A good start.

Let me guess. I'll be getting more phone calls and junk mail from them?

I'm willing to bet WLP isn't one of those 200. What a shame.

He isn't. Glen Caroline was.

NRA's loss was SAF's gain.

It's more than that. It has to be. Members of the BOD with their room temperature IQs have to be invovled with something that has not been made public yet. More than just Marion Hammer.

I think about 30% of the BOD are in name only. All they do is shake hands at the annual meeting. About 1/2 of the BOD do work on various committees, but are locked out from the financial and management details. The remainder - like Marion Hammer - are pulling in a significant part of their income from NRA, and the gravy train keeps rolling as long as they don't rock the boat.

The NRA is required to disclose which BOD members receive money from them. Hammer was getting in the $300-400K range per year as a lobbyist. A couple of the celebrities got 5-figure checks for essentially lending their names to the cause. One member who is a professional writer got like $12,000 for publishing his articles in NRA magazines. I don't think he is an issue.
It's the others I'm suspicious about. We are at the point where they have to know something is wrong and do not appear to be taking steps to fix the problems. This leads me to conclude:
1. They are willfully ignorant
2. They are dumb as toast
3. They believe removing Wayne would be worse than keeping him and his cronies around

Good riddance!! What started as a well formed organization has fallen to money, power and corruption. Basically ... they shot themselves in the fucking forehead.
